Brain Injury Attorney in Waltham

Most brain injury cases we’ve handled often result from the negligent actions of others. Examples of such causes include: 

• Car accidents caused by reckless or distracted driving
• Slips and falls due to poorly maintained premises
• Violent assaults and physical altercations
• Bicycle or pedestrian accidents involving vehicles
• Workplace accidents, especially in hazardous environments
• Defective products that cause injury
• Childbirth injuries due to medical negligence
• Sports injuries from inadequate safety measures
• Medical malpractice, including surgical errors
• Exposure to toxic substances

Brain injuries are incredibly serious. That’s why experts say there’s no such thing as a minor brain injury. Any injury to the brain, no matter the degree, can impact every aspect of your life.

They can cause cognitive impairments, physical disabilities, and emotional instability. Even worse, the effects can be long-term. That means you’ll likely need extensive medical care and rehabilitation.

Such an injury can also affect your ability to work, maintain relationships, and enjoy daily activities. For minors, it can deny them the joy of living right from a tender age.

When pursuing compensation for a brain injury, you can claim damages such as: 

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Diminished earning capacity
• Diminished quality of life
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Cost of long-term care
• Any necessary home modifications  

It’s not unusual for insurance companies to try to shift the blame onto the victim to avoid liability. For instance, they might argue that the injury was due to your negligence or pre-existing conditions. This tactic is meant to reduce or deny your compensation.

But don’t let them get away with it. You need an experienced attorney on your side to help counter these claims and ensure you are fairly represented and compensated.
